INSTRUCTIONS
IIIARNING: To reduce risk of tip-
ping of the appliance from abnor-
mal usage or by excessive loading
of the oven door, the appliance
must be secured by a properly in-
stalled anti-tip device.
To check if device is properly installed,
look underneath range with a flashlight to
make sure one of the rear leveling legs is
properly engaged in the bracket slot. The
anti-tip device secures the rear leveling
leg to the floor when properly engaged.
You should check this anytime the range
has been moved.
To Preu Fire or
Srrd Da go
Be sure all packing materials are removed
from the appliance before operating it.
Keep area around appliance clear and
free from combustible materials, gaso-
line, and other flammable vapors and ma-
terials.
If appliance is installed near a window,
proper precautions should be taken to
prevent curtains from blowing over burn-
ers.
NEVER leave any items on the cooktop.
The hot air from the vent may ignite flam-
mable items and may increase pressure in
closed containers which may cause them
to burst.
Many aerosol-type spray cans are EXPLO-
SIVE when exposed to heat and may be
highly flammable. Avoid their use or stor-
age near an appliance.
Many plastics are vulnerable to heat. Keep
plastics away from parts of the appliance
that may become warm or hot. Do not
leave plastic items on the cooktop as they
may melt or soften if left too close to the
vent or a lighted surface burner.
To eliminate the hazard of reaching over
hot surface burners, cabinet storage should
not be provided directly above a unit. If
storage is provided, it should be limited to
items which are used infrequently and
which are safely stored in an area sub-
jected to heat from an appliance. Tempera-
tures may be unsafe for some items, such
as volatile liquids, cleaners or aerosol
sprays.
In Case of Fire
Turn off appliance and ventilating hood to
avoid spreading the flame. Extinguish flame
then turn on hood to remove smoke and
odor.
•Cooktop: Smother fire or flame in a pan
with a lid or cookie sheet.
•NEVER pick up or move a flaming pan.
• Oven: Smother fire or flame by closing
the oven door.
Do not use water on grease fires. Use bak-
ing soda, a dry chemical or foam-type ex-
tinguisher to smother fire or flame.
Cl Id Safety
NEVER leave children alone or unsuper-
vised near the appliance when it is in use
or is still hot.
NEVER allow children to sit or stand on
any part of the appliance as they could be

Other potentially hot surfaces include
cooktop, areas facing the cooktop, oven
door and areas arotmd door and window.
WARNING: NEVER use appliance door,
or drawer, if equipped, as a step stool or
seat as this may result in possible tipping
of the appliance, damage to the appliance,
and serious injuries.
Do not touch a hot oven light bulb with a
damp cloth as the bulb could break. Should
the bulb break, disconnect power to the
appliance before removing bulb to avoid
electrical shock.
S ,ty
Always place a pan on a surface burner
before turning it on. Be sure you know
which knob controls which surface burner.
Make sure the correct burner is turned on
and that the burner has ignited. When
cooking is completed, turn burner off be-
fore removing pan to prevent exposure to
burner flame.
Always adjust surface burner flame so
that it does not extend beyond the bottom
edge of the pan. An excessive flame is
hazardous, wastes energy and may dam-
age the appliance, pan or cabinets above
the appliance.
NEVER leave a surface cooking operation
tmattended especially when using a high
heat setting or when deep fat frying.
Boilovers cause smoking and greasy
spillovers may ignite. Clean up greasy
spills as soon as possible. Do not use high
heat for extended cooking operations.
NEVER heat an unopened container on
tile surface burner or in the oven. Pressure
build-up may cause container to burst re-
sulting in serious personal injury or dam-
age to the appliance.
Use dry, sturdy pot holders. Damp pot
holders may cause burns from steam.
Dishtowels or other substitutes should
never be used as pot holders because they
can trail across hot surface burners and
ignite or get caught on appliance parts.
Always let quantities of hot fat used for
deep fat frying cool before attempting to
move or handle.
Do not let cooking grease or other flam-
mable materials accumulate in or near tile
appliance, hood or vent fan. Clean hood
frequently to prevent grease from accu-
mulating on hood or filter. When flaming
foods trader the hood turn the fan on.
NEVER wear garments made offlammable
material or loose fitting or long-sleeved
apparel while cooking. Clothing may ig-
nite or catch utensil handles.
Always place oven racks in the desired
positions while oven is cool. Slide oven
rack out to add or remove food, using dry,
sturdy pot holders. Always avoid reach-
ing into the oven to add or remove food. If
a rack must be moved while hot, use a dry
pot holder. Always turn the oven offat the
end of cooking.
Use care when opening the oven door. Let
hot air or steam escape before moving or
replacing food.
PREPARED FOOD WARNING: Follow
food manufacturer's instructions. If aplas-
tic frozen food container and/or its cover
distorts, warps, or is otherwise damaged
during cooking, immediately discard the
food and its container. The food could be
contaminated.
NEVER use aluminum foil to cover an
oven rack or oven bottom. Misuse could
result in risk of electric shock, fire, or
damage to the appliance. Use foil only as
directed in this guide.
Utersil Safety
Use pans with flat bottoms and handles
that are easily grasped and stay cool. Avoid
using unstable, warped, easily tipped or
loose-handled pans. Also avoid using
pans, especially small pans, with heavy
handles as they could be unstable and
easily tip. Pans that are heavy to move
when filled with food may also be hazard-
OUS.
Besure utensil is large enough to properly
contain food and avoid boilovers. Pan
size is particularly important in deep fat
frying. Be sure pan will accommodate the
volume of food that is to be added as well
as the bubble action of fat.
To minimize burns, ignition of flammable
materials and spillage due to uninten-
tional contact with the utensil, do not
extend handles over adjacent surface burn-
ers. Always turn pan handles toward the
side or back of the appliance, not out into
the room where they are easily hit or
reached by small children.

Self-Clea
Clean only parts listed in this guide. Do not
clean door gasket. The door gasket is es-
sential for a good seal. Care should be
taken not to rub, damage, or move the
gasket. Do not use oven cleaners of any
kind in or around any part of the self-clean
oven.
Before self-cleaning the oven, remove
broiler pan, oven racks and other utensils
and wipe up excessive spillovers to pre-
vent excessive smoke, flare-ups or flam-
ing.
CAUTION: Do not leave food or cooking
utensils, etc. in the oven during the self-
clean cycle.
It is normal for the cooktop of the range to
become hot during aself-clean cycle. There_
fore, touching the cooktop during a clean
cycle should be avoided.
51:!
The California Safe Drinking Water and
Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposi-
tion 65) requires the Governor of Califor-
nia to publish a list of substances known to
the State of California to cause cancer or
reproductive harm, and requires businesses
to warn customers of potential exposures
to such substances.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that the burning of gas can result in low-
level exposure to some of the listed sub-
stances, including benzene, formaldehyde
and soot, due primarily to the incomplete
combustion of natural gas or liquid petro-
leum (LP)fuels. Properly adjusted burners
will minimize incomplete combustion. Ex-
posure to these substances can also be
minimized by properly venting the burn-
ers to the outdoors.
Users of this appliance are hereby warned
that when it isengaged in the self-clean cycle,
there may be low level exposure to some of
the listed substances, including carbon mon-
oxide. Exposure can be minimized by prop-
erly venting the oven to the outdoors during
the self-clean cycle by opening a window
and /or door in the room where the appliance
is located.
IMPORTANT NOTICE REGARDING
PET BIRDS: Never keep pet birds in the
kitchen or in rooms where the fumes from
the kitchen could reach. Birds have a very
sensitive respiratory system. Fumes re-
leased during an oven self-cleaning cycle
may be harmful or fatal to birds. Fumes
released due to overheated cooking oil, fat,
margarine and overheated non-stick cook-
ware may be equally harmful.

separated from the port ifa pan is not
placed on the grate.
2. Push in and turn the knob counterclock-
wise to the Light setting.
•A clicking (spark) sound will be heard
and the burner will light. (All four igni-
tors will spark when any surface burner
knob is turned to the Light position.)
3. After the burner lights, turn the knob to
the desired flame size.
•Ignitor will continue to spark until the
knob is turned past the Light position.
Setbrlgs
The size and type ofcookware will affect the
flame setting. For information on cookware
and other factors affecting flame settings,
refer to "Cooking Made Simple".
If the surface burner does not light, check if Setting

Uses
High: Use to bring liquid to
a boil. Always reduce set-
ting to a lower heat when
liquids begin to boil or foods
begin to cook.
Medium: An intermediate
flame size is used to con-
tinue cooking. Food will not
cook any faster when a
higher flame setting is used
than needed to maintain a
gentle boil. Water boils at
the same temperature
whether boiling gently or
vigorously.
Low: Use to simmer foods,
keep foods warm and melt
chocolate or butter.
Some cooking make take
place on the Low setting if
the pan is covered. Itis pos-
sible to reduce the heat by
rotating the knob toward
Off. Be sure flame is stable.

3. Adjust the flame to the desired level.
ACAUT/ON-
When lighting the surface burners, be
sure all of the controls are in the OFF
position. Strike the match first and hold
it in position before turning the knob to
Light.
Cooktop
To prevent the cooktop from discolor-
ing or staining:
• Clean cooktop after each use.
• Wipe acidic or sugary spills as soon as
the cooktop has cooled as these spills
may discolor the porcelain.
Unlike a range with stan-
dard gas burners, this
cooktop does not lift-up nor
is it removable. Do not at-
tempt to lift the cooktop
for any reason.
S,e ,ed BurrE
The sealed burners ofyour range are secured
to the cooktop and are not designed to be
removed. Since the burners are sealed into
the cooktop, boilovers or spills will not seep
underneath the cooktop. However, the burn-
ers should be cleaned after each use. (See
page 15 for cleaning directions.)

Pilotless Ic itJcz-t
(select models)
Your range is equipped with pilotless ig-
nition. With this type of ignition system,
tile gas automatically shuts off and the
oven will not operate during apower
failure.
A lighted match will not light the oven
burner. No attempt should be made to
operate the oven during a power failure.
When the oven is in use, never block the
vent opening.
The oven vent is located at the base of the
backguard. When tile oven is in use, this

[ _k Self.Cle_ CAUTIONS:
•It is normal forparts of the range to
become hot during a clean cycle.
•Avoid touching cooktop, door, win-
dow, or oven vent area during a
clean cycle.
•Toprevent damage to oven door, do
not attempt to open the door when
the LOCK indicator light is fit.
•Do not use commercial oven clean-
ers on the self-clean oven finish or
around any part of the oven as they
will damage the finish or parts.
The self-clean cycle uses above normal
cooking temperatures to automatically
clean the entire oven interior.
It isnormal for flare-ups, smoking or flam-
ing to occur during cleaning if the oven is
heavily soiled. It is better to clean tile oven
regularly rather than to wait until there is
a heavy build-up of soil in the oven.
During the cleaning process, the kitchen
should be well ventilated to help eliminate
normal odors associated with cleaning.
Before Self..Cle r#rlg
Turn off the oven light before cleaning as
the light may burn out during the clean
cycle.
Remove broiler pan, all pans and tile oven
racks from the oven. The oven racks will
discolor and may not slide easily after a
self-clean cycle.
Clean oven
frame, door
frame (area
outside the
door gas-
ket) and
around the
opening in
the door gasket with a nonabrasive clean-
ing agent such as Bon Ami* or detergent
and water. These areas are not exposed
to cleaning temperatures and should be
cleaned to prevent soil from baking on
during the clean cycle.
Toprevent damage, do not clean or rub
the gasket around the oven door. The
gasket is designed to seal in heat during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up excess grease or spillovers from
the oven bottom to prevent excessive
smoking, flare-ups and flaming during
the clean cycle.
Wipe up sugary and acidic spillovers
such as sweet potatoes, tomato or milk-
based sauces. Porcelain enamel is acid re-
sistant, not acid proof. The porcelain fin-
ish may discolor if acidic spills are not
wiped up prior to a self-clean cycle.
Duri_Q_Cycle
When the LOCK indicator light is lit, the
door cannot be opened. To prevent dam-
age to door, do not force door open when
the LOCK indicator light is lit.
Some smoke and odor may be detected
the first few times the oven is cleaned.
This is normal and will lessen in time.
Smoke may also occur if oven is heavily
soiled or if broiler pan was left in oven.
As oven heats, you may hear sounds of
metal parts expanding and contracting.
This is normal and will not damage oven.
After Self.Cle dng
About one hour after the end of the clean
cycle, the LOCK indicator light will turn
off..At this point, the door can be opened.
Some soil may leave a light gray, pow-
dery ash which can be removed with a
damp cloth. If soil remains, it indicates
that the clean cycle was not long enough.
The soil will be removed during the next
clean cycle.
If the oven racks were left in the oven and
do not slide smoothly after a clean cycle,
wipe racks and embossed rack supports
with a small amount of vegetable oil to
restore ease of movement.
Fine lines may appear in the porcelain
resulting from the heating and cooling of
the finish. This is normal and will not af-
fect performance.
A white discoloration may appear after
cleaning if acidic or sugary foods were
not wiped up before the clean cycle. This
discoloration is normal and will NOT af-
fect performance.
